Half-day boat tour from Venice to Murano, Torcello, and Burano with glass-blowing, factory visits, and free time to wander.

Overall, if you remove these…”

“1.- First part "Venice Tour with St Mark’s Basilica" was average. 2.- "Grand Canal Boat tour" was excellent, lady acting as a tour guide was very enthusiast, she knows Venice very well, explained us every detail clearly. My wife and I were there on September 27th 2019 in the afternoon tour. I wrote the name of the woman, but lost the paper, the only thing I remember is that she live around and looks like an actress some kind of Jennifer Aniston. 3.- You need a Sign that let your client to locate you easy. It was very stressful to find you, I was in the place 1 hour before.”
